Operating experience from nuclear installations worldwide has shown that combinations of fires and other events, in particular external and internal hazards, occur throughout their entire lifetime. The main objective of the current analysis, Topical Report No. 3 of the  Fire Incidents Records Exchange Project (FIRE) is to examine event combinations contained within the NEA FIRE Project Database following the lessons learnt from the Fukushima Daiichi reactor accidents. The investigations have shown that some types of combinations have not yet been observed in the operating experience of the FIRE member countries or are rare, conversely for others a non-negligible number of event combinations have been reported to the database.
